Application filed December 2, 1912. Serial No. 734,622.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IcNA'rIUsKoRNBLfirH,

is a. specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in wrappersfor antiseptic cotton and the like, the object being to provide a retainer within which is placed the antiseptic cotton or any other similar element which is to be which may be broken or torn away from the body of the retainer is 80 arranged that a comparatively narrow tongue or strip is formed when the wrapper is broken, the said tongue being rolled backwardly upon itself in ;order that some of thecotton, for instance, can be withdrawn through .the opening formed by tearing awaythe tongue.

In order to render the body of the container weaker at certain points than the remainder of the container, I preferably indent or otherwise weaken the material longitudinally of the container, preferably in the form of parallel lines spaced sufliciently to form a severable tongue that will, when broken away, provide an opening sufliciently wide to permit the cotton to be withdrawn therethrough. As herein illustrated, I have proved wrapper partly unrolled; Fig. 2 is a,

similar view illustrating the wrapper as torn away at one end thereof and the tongue rolled back; Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the wrapper as illustrated in Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, the section being taken on a line 44 in Fig. 3, looking toward the right, the roll being broken away.

Referring to the drawing, my improved wrapper is indicated by the numeral 1 and comprises an elongated envelop which may be rolled as indicated by the numeral 2.

The envelop may be formed in any desirable manner, but I preferably form the same out of an elongated sheet of any suitable material, but preferably of paper which may be ster llzedor in any manner rendered antiseptic ifdeslrable To form the'envelop, the

sheet of paper will be folded and secured. I together as at 3.

In orderthat the envelop may be torn in orderto extract the cotton or other element indicated by 6, from the pocket 7 of the envelop, see Fig. 4, I have in this instance illustrated the material of the envelop as being weakened longitudinally thereof by means of perforations 4. Ascan be seen'in Figs. 1 and 2, the perforations 4 are in alinement and form substantial lines in parallelism with the seam 3. Consequently, when the material of the envelop which lies intermediate the perforations 4 is torn, it may be rolled backwardly as at 5, whereby an opening in the retainer or envelop is formed. The cotton may be withdrawn through the opening thus formed.

While I have illustrated the envelop as being torn away at one end thereof, indicated by 8, it is not absolutely necessary for the extraction of the cotton.

The object of weakening the envelop or container throughouta comparatively small area of its entire surface, is to provide a means by which a comparatively. narrow tongue will be ,formed when it is necessary to extract some of the cotton, as in practice I preferably close both ends. By means of the weakened portion of the material the said weakened portion being substantially in straight lines parallel with each other, the material will not be torn in a zigzag manner, but a comparatively clean tear will be made which will to a large extent prevent foreign matter mingling with the cotton.

When not in use the envelop will be completely rolled up, and when it is necessary to remove some of the contents thereof, it will be unrolled sufliciently to allow a small portion to be broken away. After the cotton has been extracted the tongue may be placed over the opening formed by tearing it away and the envelop again rolled up. Hence, the tongue now becomes a covering for the opening in the envelop.

' Havin now described my invention in detail, w at I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A container for antiseptic cotton or the 5 like, comprising an elongated receptacle,

rolled upon itself, said.receptacle being weakened throughout the entire length i thereof along a plurality of parallel lines, one end of said receptaclebeing closed, that portion of said receptacle between said 10 weakened portions being adapted to be torn away independently of the tearing away of the ends of the. container.
